HP Prime Collect/Factor difference - bluesun08 - 10-29-2013
What is the difference between the CAS-commands COLLECT and FACTOR?

The first requires seven letters and the second six. ISCNR.

To my understanding, collect organizes the algebraic object:
Example:
collect(x^2+3*x*t-2*t^2+2*x,x) returns x^2+3*x*t+2*x-2*t^2
collect(x^2+3*x*t-2*t^2+2*x,t) returns -2*t^2+3*x*t+x^2+2*x
While factor attempts to factor a polynomial.
